Express Gifts Revenue and Competitors

Express Gifts Limited is one of the largest direct mail order business in the UK. Whilst historically catalogue based, a growing tendency for customers to shop online means that around 50% of orders are placed via the Internet. We provide a personal shopping service to around 1.5 million customers each year through a combination of direct marketing and online via the 24Studio.co.uk and 24Ace.co.uk websites. Shoppers may choose to pay for their purchase within 28 days, or take advantage of a monthly credit programme. The range of products is diverse covering leisurewear, electrical, household, textile, bedding, furniture, nursery products, gifts and greeting cards. Many of these can be personalised in the division's in-house facilities which are unmatched in UK retail. All large products are handled at a 500,000 sq ft distribution centre in Manchester, whilst an automated collation warehouse at Accrington is capable of handling over half a million items per day. For over 40 years, Webb Ivory has been working together with thousands of fundraisers in the UK — and has helped them raise literally millions of pounds for a wide range of charities and worthwhile causes. The concept is very simple. Our fundraisers simply distribute our catalogue among potential supporters, and from whatever orders they receive from their supporters, up to 25% of the order amount goes directly to the fundraiser's cause in the form of a donation.
